@ 107 ~ When We Close Our Eyes Forever...

From cradle to grave...that's everyone life cycle basically.
The difference is during the journey, whether we have lived or merely survived.
Some people's journey is like a roller-coaster.
Some prefer to travel to a less crowded path.
While some play it safe and adventures are totally out of their dictionary!
In anyway we live during the journey,
we eat,
we meet people,
we love,
we communicate
we spend,
we walk,
we fight,
we cook,
we laugh,
we collect,
we cry,
we write,
we sleep,
we overcome,
we run,
we listen.......and we do endless things.

Can we say to our great self that we've done our best or live happily before we die?
Do we regret & resent before we die?
Can we enrich others before we die?

My friend, the significance doesn't lay on how we die but how we live.
I wonder how would it feel knowing when our days are nearly to the end.
Perhaps we should just call a friend, have a nice cup of coffee and just catch up....

Life is Good.....

@ 91 ~ Kopitiam With An Old Taste

With all the malls mushrooming here & there and F&B arena changing concept after concept, it is good to go back to basics and enjoy the original "virgin" concept of kopitiam. It is untouched & non-modified. You still can enjoy the experience of chit-chatting with the boss and the best part is, he knows who you are when you are a regular. Sometimes, new concept of f&b is too cold to be connected.
They focus in growth than connection.
They focus in nice fit-outs than essence.
It is good to maintain certain stuff which is old and original. Once we go to far, we may never get it back.

@ 89 ~ Canoodling

Some place triggered our memories and it is worthwhile to keep some of the good ones. Moments of fun & happiness are precious especially when you have people as valuable as a gem around you. Remember the one that we shared our laughters & tears and remember those that standby our side when we needed them.

Let's scribble our mind with beautiful thoughts, beautiful people & beautiful memories. A white piece of paper is meant to be colored. Just don't put a boring Black & White!
Crayons are nice!!! Luv it...

@ 86 ~ Memorable Memories

I'm sure you and I have tonnes of memories that kept us alive, exciting and nostalgic, especially those that worth storing in our mind. Ever search the disc of your mind and play those sweet and happy memories over and over again? Be it the places that we went to, our favourite food, people that we miss, friends that share our commonalities and some of the "wow" moments. We can still remember as it was yesterday's moment. It is fascinating that we can still dig out what has been stored in our mind 10, 20 or 30 years ago. Our brain is the greatest creation on earth and it is also the most meaningful ones....

@ 82 ~ Tooth Ring

Preciousness, to some people, means a different level of valuables. What a special ring made from our own tooth! I think it is more meaningful than diamond ring.....you think so?

@ 76 ~ Unexpected Compliments

Recently, I've received a few sincere and unexpected compliments from some people that I casually known. They commented that I've enriched them with my experience and knowledge and uplifted them in a way that nobody in their life does that for them.

I felt real good and motivated and that really make my day! It lingers in my mind for more than 24 hours! What a great feeling as I'm trying to do this all my life....

A friend told me once that "Riches come in many ways!". I guess this is one of the way, helping someone without any favours or reward in return. I think this is a better way to build a valuable friendship than just being someone that doesn't make any difference.

Life is good....

@ 74 ~ From Cradle-2-Cradle

In case you wonder, those are one of the riches land on earth.....the cemetery.
Why do I say so? Our dreams and hopes are buried 6 feet under if it doesn't come to past on earth. Our million dollar ideas, expression of love, risk-taking opportunities and cherishing wonderful moments......those are the valuable life episodes worth remembering.

For people under employment, most of our life is spent working a job to pay a car, a house, family expenses, children's education and taking care of our retired parents. It feels like everyone comes from the same point, walking in a straight line towards the same destination.
20, 35, 47, 62 and up to 80 years old......that's it.....game over!

Ever thought of creating beaufiful memories for yourself?
What about enriching someone's life?
Making yourself or others happy is also not bad huh?
How about spending money to pamper ourself a little bit?
Hmm....printing our journal or blog as a book to give to others....sounds good?

Most importantly, spend your life with someone who can create a meaningful journey from Cradle-2-Cradle....

@ 67 ~ Meaningful Gift

Wow, I almost forgotten that I still keep this gift with me.
It was in 2008 when I left a company and I received a combined gift from 2 Myanmar Chinese workers, 2 Indonesian workers and a Malaysian Chinese worker made my day back then! Some of them cried and I've felt touched, totally speechless and a meaningful moment was winding through my mind. I've done my best to help and uplift workers when there were problems. I enjoyed working with different people with different cultures, coming together on a same boat.
Recall back, I did miss those moments....
